Welcome to First Baptist Church!
Whether you are joining us online or in person, thanks for worshiping with us. This page is designed to augment the worship service by providing important information, upcoming events, and next steps to connect you to the community. Feel free to look around and get to know us better. Here are some helpful links to get you started. And if you have any additional questions, please contact us.
Cookout & Potluck
You’re invited to a churchwide Cookout & Potluck on Wednesday, October 1 at 6:30 PM. Instead of our usual Wednesday night programming, we’ll gather outside for food, fellowship, and fun.
We’ll provide drinks, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Please bring a chair to sit in, a side dish or dessert to share. The playground, walking path, and soccer field will all be open, making this a great evening for everyone.
We’re also looking for a few volunteers to help with grilling, food prep, and managing drinks. If you’re able to lend a hand, please click the button below to sign up.
All are welcome—we hope to see you there!

Upward Basketball
The Upward Basketball season kicks off soon, with our first games starting October 18! Please keep our directors, coaches, volunteers, and players in your prayers as the season approaches.
We’re also thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with the ISU Basketball team! Their student athletes will join us at select practices to work with our players, and ISU will celebrate the season with a special Upward Night during their regular season.
We can’t wait for a fun and meaningful season of growth, teamwork, and community!

Connect Card
Connect cards are a simple way for you to tell us more about you. When you fill out a connect card, you will receive emails from our Pastors and staff, introducing themselves and providing their contact information. We will also provide a list of ways to get connected and opportunities to serve. Filling out a connect card will also enable you to use the check-in kiosks or access the Church Center app. Have no fear, you will never be added to a bulk mailing list.
